Background Research

• You need 6-11 servings of grain a day it comes from bread, cereal, rice, or pasta. Bread is high in fiber.
• We explain common words you may have heard, such as "sponge" and "rise," and cover the ingredients and equipment you'll need to get started. Scientific-sounding terms like "fermentation" and "proofing" can lead many to conclude that this is a subject best left to professionals.
• There are more then 70 different kinds of bread. And they all start the same flour, sugar, yeast, and water. Four simple things that you can get.

• 3/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

  
  

  1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons white sugar

  
  

  3/4 (.25 ounce) package bread machine yeast

  
  

  3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  
  

  2-1/4 cups bread flour

  
  

  3/4 teaspoon salt
